Data Federation in Healthcare for Artificial Intelligence Solutions.

Data federation offers a way to get data moving from multiple sources providing advantages in healthcare systems where medical data is often hard to reach because of regulations or the lack of reliable solutions that can integrate on top of protocols like FHIR, HL7, DICOM, among others. Given the increasing need for solutions that augment healthcare systems with artificial intelligence (AI), in fields like genomics, cancer treatment, and radiology, all of which will require solutions that can provide data at scale while being traceable, safe, and regulatory-compliant. This paper proposes an architectural solution that may provide the core capabilities to implement a data federation approach in a healthcare system to enable AI.

Near Real-Time Telemetry of Nation-Wide ICU's Capacity Strain in Argentina.

Due to the fast-spreading of COVID-19 during the pandemic, decision-makers turned into innovative digital solutions for data collection in order to make well-informed public health decisions based on reliable data from verified sources. This work describes one of such solutions, implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Health in Argentina.

Revisando el concepto de desarrollo sostenible en el discurso social / Reviewing the concept of sustainable development in social discourse

Esta investigación surge con un afán prospectivo sobre lo que las personas entienden por Desarrollo Sostenible con el objetivo de conocer cuáles son las dimensiones que subyacen al concepto y ver en qué medida éstas son moduladas tanto por la ideología política como por la forma de relacionarse con la Naturaleza. Para ello se hace un análisis de contenido de 132 definiciones de Desarrollo Sostenible. En ellas se observan 10 dimensiones entre las que destacan "desarrollo" y "la Naturaleza y medio ambiente". En las entrevistadas, se detecta una pérdida de contenidos con respecto a la definición de la Comisión Mundial del Medio Ambiente y del Desarrollo (CMMAD), lo que sugiere que existen dificultades a la hora de precisar en el proceso de comunicación, qué se entiende por este concepto. La posición ante la Naturaleza modula la forma de entender este concepto, no así la ideología política que se atribuyen las participantes (AU)

This study originated as an investigation into what people mean by Sustainable Development. It attempted to discover the dimensions underlying the concept and to find out how these are modified by political beliefs or by ways of relating to nature. To achieve this aim, a content analysis was carried out to analyse 132 definitions of Sustainable Development. Within these definitions, 10 dimensions were observed, among which «development» and «nature and the environment» stood out. The study showed that there was a loss of elements among the interviewees with regard to the WCED definition. This suggests that there are communication problems, which affect the expression of what exactly is meant by the concept. Attitudes towards nature affect the way in which this concept is understood, and not the political beliefs of the participants (AU)
